PRESET USING EXAMPLE: INSTALLATION IN A THEATRE WITH BALCONY
In the following figure you can see an example of the use of different PRESETS in an AX800A NEO flown array installed in a big
theatre with balcony:
• The TOP BOXES of the array are aiming at the balcony while the DOWN FILL box is aiming at the audience close to the stage.
• TOP BOXES: the power level at the end of the balcony is lower, as well as the high frequency level.
• DOWN FILL BOXES: the power level in the proximity of the stage is higher, as well as the high frequency level.
In order to optimize the array performances for the specific application, the PRESETS should be used in the following way.
• Load the STANDARD preset in the central boxes.
• Load the LONG THROW preset in the TOP 1 or 2 boxes, in order to compensate the loss of power level and high frequencies of
the program sent the upper deck of the theatre.
• Load the DOWN FILL / SINGLE BOX preset in the BOTTOM box in order to smooth the high frequency content of the program sent
to the audience close to the stage.
NETWORK IN/OUT
These are a standard RJ45 CAT5 connectors (with optional NEUTRIK NE8MC RJ45 cable connector carrier), used for PRONET AX
network transmission of remote control data over long distance or multiple unit applications.
TERMINATE
In a PRONET AX network the last device must be always terminated (with an inner load resistance): press this switch if you want to
terminate the network on this unit.
Only the last devices connected to the PRONET AX network must be always terminated, therefore all units connected
between two devices within the network must not be terminated never.
PRONET AX - OPERATION
The AXIOM active loudspeaker devices can be connected in a network and controlled by the PRONET AX software.
PRONET AX software has been developed in collaboration with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to offer an “easy-to-
use” tool to setup and manage your audio system. With PRONET AX you can visualize signal levels, monitor internal status and edit
all the parameters of each connected device.
Download the PRONET AX app registering on MY AXIOM at the website at https://www.axiomproaudio.com/.
For the network connection the USB2CAND (with 2-port) converter optional accessory is needed.
PRONET AX network is based on a “bus-topology” connection, where the first device is connected to the input connector of the
second device, the second device network output is connected to the network input connector of the third device, and so on. To
ensure a reliable communication the first and the last device of the “bus-topology” connection must be terminated. This can be done
by pressing the “TERMINATE” switch near the network connectors in the rear panel of the first and the last device. For the network
connections simple RJ45 cat.5 or cat.6 ethernet cables can be used (please don’t confuse a ethernet network with a PRONET AX
network these are completely different and must be fully separated also both use the same kind of cable).
